Exhibition - Shining a Light: A History of Nursing Support WorkNursing History Collection
From Victorian asylums and wartime volunteers to nursing assistants and care workers today, this exhibition uncovers the long history and diversity of nursing support work. Exhibits include a handmade magazine created by a young Agatha Christie when she was a volunteer nurse in the First World War.

The exhibition also shines a light on the personal stories of nursing support workers today, celebrating the contribution they continue to make – in hospital wards, care homes, clinics and communities.
